When major crises come in threes!

Not a single day passes without Corporate Protection staff responding to an incident at one or other of our sites. Whether security, Health and Medical or Fire and Rescue, we are in constant demand.

Few of these incidents are publicised and we are largely unsung, if not unappreciated.

It is uncommon though, for our team to confront 3 incidents, on the same day, ON THE SAME SITE!

(And note: on one of the incidents, our ESOs provided medical support for the sole site paramedic who was suffering from cardiac pain!)
